This is a place for me to share some of my work. On this site you will find many examples of micro lessons. Many of them will take the form of 1 to 10 minutes video clips or short to the point articles. I believe that micro lessons could be a powerful tool that we can use with students. I hope that you enjoy this Blog site. This site will discuss educational technology as a tool for student learning. Site Publisher Fred Sharpsteen

National Ed Tech Plan released on the same day ESSA was signed in DC (Dec, 10th). The key principles of equity and achievement are central to the plan through building capacity in collaborative leadership teams. The new plan has easy to understand graphics and text aligned to the Future Ready framework. The plan is meant to allow for additional updates, research resources and leadership materials which provides a great framework for technology integration.
